2 years ago Does this work ? http://tazendra.caltech.edu/~postgres/out/pg_roles.pg Created with pg_dumpall --roles-only > pg_roles.pg To only generate the roles separate from the database data (There's another database that shouldn't be dumped/copied with pg_dumpall, and this lets the daily dump keep using the same pg_dump so the link to testdb.dump.latest can keep getting auto-generated the same way). Probably load that first into any new postgres instance, then the database can be dropped-reloaded from the testdb.dump.latest (and we get to keep the new database name instead of restoring as testdb)

Restored testdb.dump.latest with psql using the following command:
psql -h cervino.caltech.edu -p 5432 -d caltech_curation -U postgres -f testdb.dump.latestThe command returns some permission errors:
psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212248: ERROR: role "acedb" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212249: ERROR: role "apache" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212250: ERROR: role "azurebrd" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212251: ERROR: role "cecilia" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212252: ERROR: role "www-data" does not exist REVOKE REVOKE GRANT psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212262: ERROR: role "acedb" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212263: ERROR: role "apache" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212264: ERROR: role "azurebrd" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212265: ERROR: role "cecilia" does not exist psql:testdb.dump.latest:32212266: ERROR: role "www-data" does not exist
@azurebrd Is there a way to dump roles together with data? Can you try to backup tazendra with pg_dumpall?
From pg_dumpall doc (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/app-pg-dumpall.html):
"pg_dumpall also dumps global objects that are common to all databases. (pg_dump does not save these objects.) This currently includes information about database users and groups, tablespaces, and properties such as access permissions that apply to databases as a whole."
